By This Is TASTE

3:00 AM EDT on September 29, 2025

David Lebovitz is a cookbook author and pastry chef based in Paris. After spending 13 years in the pastry kitchen at the legendary Chez Panisse, he embarked on a prolific blogging and cookbook writing career. His latest is an all-new edition of the classic Ready for Dessert, a revised and expanded collection. It’s so fun to talk with David about life and pastries in Paris and about updating this classic book.And before that Matt, along with the show’s lead producer Clayton, laced up their shoes to run the inaugural New York City Bakery Half Marathon. They have a field report from all those miles, and all that laminated pastry dough while visiting 8 bakeries around NYC over the course of the run.   Subscribe to This Is TASTE: ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠, ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
